Its a girl!

We are having a little girl! I'm so excited! This is what I've been hoping for, but all I can think about is how I was as a little girl...scary. That and the cost! People keep telling me how expensive girls are, and when she said "its a girl", that is all I could think of! Dance lessons, proms, weddings... I'm going to cry!

Pollen

I don't think I really have to say more than that one ominous word...Pollen. I hate pollen. I don't remember it ever affecting me this much. Maybe it's because I'm pregnant or growing older(ripe old age of 21), but it has knocked me out this year. I haven't been able to take anything which magnifies how bad I feel. Coen has had an ear infection from the pollen but is finally getting over it. Life will return to normal as soon as the pollen is gone.

Hate Hattiesburg

I hate Hattiesburg...I dont know what exactly, probably the traffic, but it makes me angry and upset and insecure and unwanted and despised. It probably has a little more to do with me than Hattiesburg, but shes so easy to blame.

Trains, Planes, and Automobiles

Last night, after we got Coen in bed, I started cleaning the kitchen and dining room. I decided to set up the track on Coen train table in hopes that he might actually play with it. Justin came in to help me, and we were like 2 little kids, picking out track patterns when I hear the door slowly open. Coen stood in the doorway looking utterly betrayed. His look said,"So this is what you guys do when I go to sleep...I thought I could trust you." He was so mad when we made him go back to his room. He was grabbing the door frame and kicking wildly, but the look on his face was the wildest thing I've ever seen. The look made it known that we would be sorry. I really felt like I had wronged him in some way(He is very persuasive). So in the fuure I will go nowhere near that boys toys after he is in bed. I have a feeling he will be watching...

MINE!

At two years of age, did I think EVERYTHING was mine? Probably. My son sure does think so. Gum. He has had 5 peices of gum today and every single piece was swallowed by my terrible two year old. Am I a bad person to refuse my precious little angel another piece? I do not think so, but he sure believes it! He patiently, then violently explains to me that the gum is his. I think he forgot about the part where he stole it out of my purse this morning. No he didn't forget, it doesn't matter because everything Coen wants somehow becomes his. And there is another on the way...
What was I thinking? I was thinking of the sweet little boy who climbs into bed with me everynight; the little boy who insist on sharing his snack with me(whether I want it or not); the little boy who reaches for my hand everytime we pray. That is a little bit of why I want another child. I just need to remind myself of that for the next few years.

What's Normal About You... And What's Not?

In this storm...

I will never understand the trials God puts me through, but I am beginning to understand that these trials are all in His plan for me. Just knowing this gives me peace. I know He has plans to prosper me not to harm me. (Jer. 29:11) In the past few weeks I've had to learn how to cling to these words. I'm learning to praise Him in these storms; to lift my eyes toward Him, after all it only makes sense to trust my Maker. I take solace in Psalms 126. I love my Savior and to put my trust in Him is the only thing that makes sense to me. I know that if I keep my eyes on Him, He will give me the comfort and direction I yearn for.
